It's Spring!
This year has been one of those crazy whirlwind years that make you question everything you are doing and wondering how you are going to keep your sanity. This has been my first full-year homeschooling my oldest. He is 10 and this has been a huge adjustment for both of us. Charlotte Mason, A Delectable Education, Teaching From Rest, For the Children's Sake, etc have all become a part of everyday life here and we are finding our new normal. Trying to make education a lifestyle has been a struggle. I never realized how bad my sons attention span was. Seriously, that kid could tune out a nuke! We have a lot of habit training to work on. A LOT! I never realized just how much he tunes out when I'm speaking to him. Add in a newly three, "threenager" and you have the recipe for a chaotic house that would make Gandhi pull out his hair (if he had any). Even as I type this I am being climbed like a spider monkey at 12:25 am by a toddler who refuses to go to bed. My eyes are crossing and caffeine isn't helping. Lets help he decides to go to bed, SOON... In other news, this past week was Landon's third birthday. I don't know where time has gone. My little 9lb bundle of cuteness is now a big boy speaking in full sentences, fighting bad guys like he's batman, and he's pretending he is a power ranger the rest of the day. He had a blast at the park with a few friends for his "party" and he racked up on more toys to throw all over my house...SCORE! This weekend was also Easter. The boys got new helmets and Sissy (grandma) got Brycen the kayak he has been begging for since he could say the world. TeTe (other grandma) saved the day and bought a new life jacket to go with that gift. We spent the morning at Church where we celebrated the glorious resurrection of our Savior, came home and napped before going to my Aunt's house for Easter dinner with the family and egg hunting. It was an amazing day and my boys had a blast. Next weekend will be CAMPING. Since the weather is changing and things are warming up it is time to get out the dirtbikes, side by side, and camping gear. We have a great time with family and friends riding around and the kids are getting some much needed vitamin-d. We truly are blessed with a beautiful community and amazing friends. I can't wait...
